因為在昨天發布的Lavender Haze MV中,可以看到Midnight Rain的小提示,所以提前翻譯這首(其他歌:繼續排隊ing 🤣) 可以點我的卡稱進去看更多來自專輯Midnights的歌詞賞析(Anti-Hero, Lavender Haze, etc.),那我們就開始吧~ 一、歌曲簡介: Midnight Rain是Taylor Swift第十張專輯Midnights(2022)中的第6首歌,由Taylor及其好友Jack Antonoff一同製作。 歌曲結合電子流行樂及R&B曲風,樂評普遍讚譽其精細的製作及令人著迷的編曲。Midnight Rain曾榮登美國告示牌(Billboard)百大排行榜的第5名。 二、中英文歌詞: Rain, he wanted it comfortable 雨,他想要安適 I wanted that pain 我想要那苦楚 He wanted a bride 他想要一個新娘 I was making my own name 我正在揚名立萬 Chasing that fame 追逐那名氣 He stayed the same 他維持不變 All of me changed like midnight 我的所有如午夜般改變了 My town was a wasteland 我的城鎮恍如廢墟 Full of cages, full of fences 滿是牢籠,滿是圍欄 Pageant queens and big pretenders 充斥著選美皇后及偽君子們 But for some, it was paradise 但對某些人來說,有如天堂 My boy was a montage 我的男孩恍如蒙太奇 A slow-motion, love potion 慢動作般,喝了愛情藥水般 Jumping off things in the ocean 令人奮不顧身跳入大海遠離那些事物 I broke his heart 'cause he was nice 我讓他心碎,因為他太美好 He was sunshine, I was midnight rain 他是陽光,我則是午夜雨 He wanted it comfortable 他想要安適 I wanted that pain 我想要那苦楚 He wanted a bride 他想要一個新娘 I was making my own name 我正在揚名立萬 Chasing that fame 追逐那名氣 He stayed the same 他維持不變 All of me changed like midnight 我的所有如午夜般改變了 It came like a postcard 消息像明信片般捎來 Picture perfect, shiny family 完美的照片,閃亮的家庭 Holiday, peppermint candy 佳節般,薄荷糖般 But for him it's every day 但對他來說這是日常 So I peered through a window 所以我隔窗窺望 A deep portal, time travel 穿越時光隧道般 All the love we unravel 回顧我們曾有的愛情 And the life I gave away 及我放棄的那生活 'Cause he was sunshine, I was midnight rain 因為他是陽光,我是午夜雨 He wanted it comfortable 他想要安適 I wanted that pain 我想要那苦楚 He wanted a bride 他想要一個新娘 I was making my own name 我正在揚名立萬 Chasing that fame 追逐那名氣 He stayed the same 他維持不變 All of me changed like midnight 我的所有如午夜般改變了 Rain, he wanted it comfortable 雨,他想要安適 I wanted that pain 我想要那苦楚 He wanted a bride 他想要一個新娘 I was making my own name 我正在揚名立萬 Chasing that fame 追逐那名氣 He stayed the same 他維持不變 All of me changed like midnight 我的所有如午夜般改變了 I guess sometimes we all get 我想有時我們會得到 Just what we wanted, just what we wanted 只是我們想要的,只是我們想要的 And he never thinks of me 而他從未想起我 Except when I'm on TV 除了我出現在電視上時 I guess sometimes we all get 我想有時我們會 Some kind of haunted, some kind of haunted 如被迷魅般,如被迷魅般 And I never think of him 而我從未想起他 Except on midnights like this (midnights like this) 除了在這樣的午夜裡(這樣的午夜裡) 三、單字片語解釋 1. Make someone’s own name (phr.):某人成名。例句:She is determined to make her own name for her family. 她決心為了她的家庭而成名。 2. Montage (n.):蒙太奇。源自法語,指一種電影剪輯的表達手法,組合一系列不同地點、不同角度、不同方法等拍攝的多個短鏡頭。例句:The movie uses a montage of videos to demonstrate its meaning. 電影使用影片蒙太奇手法來揭露其意義。 3. Jump off (phr.):自…跳躍、遠離。例句:Do not near her or she will jump off the cliff. 不要靠近她,否則她會跳崖。 4. Peer (v.):仔細或費力地看。例句:The driver was peering into the distance trying to read the road sign. 司機費力地看著遠方,想要看清路標。 5. Unravel (v.):把問題或事情揭開、弄清、闡明。例句:The detective is assigned to unravel the mysterious murder. 偵探被指派來弄清楚神秘謀殺案的真相。 四、泰泰冷知識 1. “He wanted it comfortable, I wanted that pain”(他想要安適,我想要那苦楚),Taylor過去曾寫過在一段舒適的關係裡,卻思念昔日充滿戲劇性、混亂的關係。如2008年的The Way I Loved You:“He’s charming and endearing. And I’m comfortable. But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain.”(他既有魅力又可愛。而我很舒適。但我想念尖叫、吵架以及在雨中親吻。)這邊的苦楚也有可能指Taylor渴望改變,追逐新夢想或開啟新旅程的苦楚,而歌裡的他可能傾向維持現狀不變,保有安適感。 2. “Jumping off things in the ocean”(令人奮不顧身跳入大海遠離那些事物)符合兩首舊歌的內容:2019年的False God:“We were stupid to jump in the ocean separating us.”(我們愚蠢地跳進分離我們的大海裡);及2020年的Gold Rush:“Gleaming, twinkling. Eyes like sinking ships on waters. So inviting, I almost jump in.”(閃閃發亮、一閃一閃。雙眼如水上沈船。如此吸引人,我幾乎跳入。) 3. “He wanted a bride, I was making my own name”(他想要一個新娘,我正在揚名立萬),而同張專輯中的Lavender Haze可以做比較:“All they keep asking me, is if I’m gonna be your bride. The only kind of girl they see, is a one-night or a wife.”(他們一直不停地問我,我是否會成為你的新娘。他們眼中唯一的女孩,不是一夜情就只能是妻子。)這句也與2020年的歌Champagne Problems相似,歌中女主角因尚未準備好而拒絕男方的求婚,而使男方心碎。 參考資料:Wikipedia, Genius, Billboard, Cambridge Dictionary, Marriam-Webster, Taylor Swift @YouTube 有翻譯或引用錯誤的地方都請不吝提出喔,感謝大家😉 感覺可能有更多的mv,如果是的話出現在lavender haze MV中的midnight rain及mastermind都很有希望呢! 想要看更多的賞析麻煩按愛心、留言、追蹤我的卡稱表達鼓勵,Swifties我們下次見!😊 🫶🏻
